The Peabody Art Collection contains over 1400 objects, including paintings,
sculpture, miniatures, decorative arts, manuscripts, and a collection of
approximately 1100 works on paper. Objects in the Collection date from
the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, with a strong emphasis on nineteenth-
and early twentieth-century paintings and sculpture.

Originally owned by the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, the Peabody
Art Collection was acquired by the state of Maryland in 1996. The Maryland
Commission on Artistic Property now administers the collection.

Selections from the Peabody Art Collection currently are on loan to
several Baltimore institutions, including the Baltimore Museum of Art,
Walters Art Museum, Maryland Historical Society, Homewood House Museum,
Peabody Institute, and Maryland Institute College of Art. There also
is a rotating exhibition of works from the Collection in the Miller Senate
Building in Annapolis.
